in Motivation and Support
Hi, I am a 74 year old woman and I have been on MFP for years! I am looking for some friends here for moral support while I continue my journey! Any age is okay, but, of course, if you were closer to my age it would be cool! Anyway I still have 90 some pounds to go! Would love to hear from you!

    Maybe you might want to check out this thread, as a place to find similar folks:

    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10718336/60-yrs-and-up#latest

    Since you've been here a while, you may know this, but in case not: That's a thread that's been going a long time. If you open it up, you may see really old posts. The new ones are at the end, on the high-numbered pages. It's definitely still active.

    I'm 66, been here for years (since 2015), too. I'm now maintaining a healthy weight, after previous literal multiple decades of overweight obesity. A healthy weight is a thing we can achieve in our age range, and it's (IMO) so, so worth it. I wish I'd done it decades earlier, it would've saved a lot of grief.

    I have to say, while I accept friend requests, I'm unfortunately a distinctly sub-par MFP friend, pretty flaky there, more active in the Community than on the friend side of things.

    I'm cheering you on here, though - wishing you success!

    Hello! I'm Pat. I'm 74 tomorrow and have been part of MFP for years also! I need to lose 20 lbs (again) by end of March. I've done it but yo-yo back! I'm a good encourager! Together we can help each other. I'm looking for friends!

    Can someone review the bookmarking process. Thanks! Wishing you success!

    I'm into green smoothies and herbal teas!

    To bookmark a thread, look for a little ribbon-looking shape (rectangle with a triangle cut out of the bottom, just an outline) . It should be on the right near the thread title when you're in a thread, or to the right of the thread title when you're in one of the thread lists within a topic area. Click it. It will change to a solid (filled in) ribbon shape. You've bookmarked the thread.

    To see the threads you've bookmarked, it's a little different in web MFP vs. phone/tablet MFP. On the web, several community pages will have a "Quick Links" list near the upper right, under the fancy photo banner. (You should see that Quick Links area on the list of topic areas, or the thread list within a topic, or when you're in reading a thread.) Look for "My Bookmarks" in that area, and click on it. That will show your bookmarked threads.

    On phone/tablet MFP, when you're in the Community, click on your avatar at the upper right (at least that's where it is for Android users; Apple iOS is usually similar). Click on that. You should get a menu that includes "Bookmarks" as one option. Click on that to show your bookmarked threads.

    Hi am 66 years old and have been on SP for years; I lost 80 pounds two years ago. I now have an active two years old great granddaughter I keep most of the time. Well she climb out of her play pen and I stop exercise and gain back twenty pounds. Now I am working on losing them. She is my workout buddy; we would possibly make you laugh. We workout six days a week; I like Walk Away The Pounds and I will increase my workout after her father move out of my house. I am vegan and I like to read my Bible. I enjoy working with kids and I am now teaching that active two years old her alphabets and numbers. I would enjoy being your friend.

    I had to lose the weight because I have a colostomy, a low heart rate, a high risk of high blood pressure and high risk of becoming a diabetic. I have a lot of reason to keep going; I pray you do also. If you would like to count me in. Please do so.
